Özet

Background: Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Palivizumab is approved for prevention of RSV in specific populations but not for treatment. Few studies demonstrated the safety and successful treatment with intravenous (IV) palivizumab. We describe our experience with IV palivizumab treatment for RSV in a pediatric hematology-oncology department during an outbreak.
